Abstract
Churches and religious communities are not economic entities, but they can perform economic activities. This paper analyses the legal aspects of the economic activity of churches and religious communities. Having analyse the solutions contained in the EU law, comparative law and in the law of the Republic of Serbia, the authors conclude that the economic activity of churches and religious communities as non-profit unincorporated associations in terms of company law, in order to be permitted as well to be excluded from the general regime of economic activity to certain extent and in certain cases, it must fulfil certain conditions relating to the legal subjectivity enjoyed by churches and religious communities, the aims regarding which they are being carried out, and the extent to which they are carried out.
